the-ultimate-recipe-of-croquetas-de-jamon

Croquetas de jamón are, without a doubt, one of the most iconic tapas in Spain. As always, this dish can either be one of the best bites you've ever had or a dense mazacote that’s hard to even swallow. It hurts to think how many tourists leave Spain each year after trying a poor version of this dish, probably concluding, "Spanish gastronomy might be a little overrated." 😞 But with this recipe, you'll get to enjoy croquetas the right way—perfectly balanced between creaminess and structure. None of that liquid croqueta trend that took over bistros a few years ago. It was fun while it lasted, but let’s be honest: nothing beats the classic ones. A croqueta should be creamy, yes, but also firm enough to hold its shape when you take a bite. I got you, guys!
